I tested it to make some Halloween pillows this weekend and it worked.

Perfectly.

The pillows turned out so perfectly I decided to document the process just for you! Initially it was hard to wrap my little pillow-loving mind on how a simple piece of printer paper could make a fabulous pillow.

Crazy right?

If you have ever transferred images then you know that a laser printer was needed in order to transfer an image. 1Gel works with BOTH ink jet or laser images. Laser images are a little more crisp – but I tried using 1Gel with both types of ink and it worked great.

Also.

If you have never visited The Graphics Fairy then you need to hop on over there and check out the amazing vintage graphics she has – most of them for free!

I would love to make a pillow for my son Justin, and his bride to be, Trinea. They are getting married in November and will be living in Puerto Rico. It would be wonderful to make them a pillow to remember us by back in Michigan.

I would like to transfer on a few t-shirts and sweatshirts. I need some clothes to show support for my son’s high school soccer team! The school and area stores don’t offer any apparel that back the soccer program, so I want to make my own!

Oh I have been wanting to try this! I have so many ideas of things to transfer, so hard to narrow it down. But if I had to pick one idea, it would have to be a end table or something like that- perfect size for a neat image to be on top of.

I would make a pillow for my daughter Amber. He father and youngest brother passed away one month a part 10 months later her oldest brother passed away all was unexpected. There picture is what I’d put on her pillow.

I love pillows on my bed. I just get giddy thinking about all the different combinations i could use. Love graphic fairy and graphic stock. I will have the most awesome bedroom ever !! Thank you for the great video and tip. Can’t wait to start !! 🙂

Totally excited to try this! First thing I’d do is a tee shirt (hopefully it’s washable). Then I would make shirts for my Bunco gals for our annual beach trip. Also thinking painted furniture, oh but there is so many possibilities for this product. Looks so easy!

I’m wanting to transfer newspaper from our hometown, of my sister’s birth announcement onto a nightstand for her birthday. The kicker? She was born in 1961. I’m redoing her bedroom in a “country cottage” theme. She has no idea about birth announcement. Hook me up Refunk My Junk, PLEASE!!

I have been following your amazing work since you first started. You do make everything look so easy and I have been searching for a method that even I could do. (I have made some BAD messes) So for those of us who are not as gifted, this product just might be the answer. I think my first attempt will be pillows. That would be a great way to get started on transfer if I follow your video to the tee this time might really work.

Would love to try this technique for Christmas presents this year. I’ve told the family they are all getting homemade gifts! Possibly pillows, but would like to try the transfer on some heavy porcelain pots/planters that can be used on the porch. Saw similar ones at Plow and Hearth and thought I could replicate that, i.e. “Last Name” and “Established 1973” in an heirloom-type print.

Amazing product! I like to have my pillows be seasonal but instead of changing pillows I change their covers. Then when I have one I really like and want to keep it stores easily and doesn’t take up much space. I’d use the product for holiday pillow covers and mixed media pieces!

Where to begin is the real question!! Painting is just around the corner for cabinets, walls, bedroom furniture & more for our new house!
No extra fluff to decorate now, so I’d make, what else, pillows for my new couch & dining room chairs! Awesome!!!

I’ve been wanting to make some custom tee shirts for my belly dance colleagues for some time, but our idea was too expensive due to the small number. Now we finally can do it! Yay! Thank you, Heirloom, for this great product!

I’m going to use this on some wine barrel spines with a french graphic, that I am making into a towel holder for the kitchen and some cotton kitchen towels. Really excited. It this works on the wooden towel holder “Dresser here I come”.

I have visited The Graphics Fairy website and have been itching to try a transfer! You made it look really easy! I have acquired a wooden settee (needing to be transformed), with two fabric covered panels on the back so I think I would transfer a pair of vintage-looking graphics on the panels…..

A couple of questions. Does the gel affect the fabric background color, i.e., change the color at all, around the graphic? And did you put something inside the pillow cover to protect the other side when you applied the gel and transfer?

Well, first I was going to say pillows for my new couch but now I’m thinking tea towels to give as Christmas gifts, or maybe a tray or maybe this cool old box I have…. and with the paint, I have an antique vanity that really needs help and then there is the t.v. stand in my bedroom, oh and the old chairs I bought recently… Oh, I can use the gel on the fabric for the cushions of the old chairs…. Ok, I’ll stop now, too many ideas

I would use this for my Christmas gifts (always make something homemade) and this looks like fun! Would be used to transfer Christmas carol music sheets to a Christmas inspired snowman decoration, or… The possibilities are endless!

I’d love to make 3 pillows, one each of my children’s faces for my mother. She has dementia and is slipping away more each week. They are her only grandchildren. They are grown, one in college far away, the other two working, very busy hard to get away. She would have the pillows for the bed or sofa to see every day to help keep who they are fresh in her mind maybe~

My father is an 82 year with Parkinson’s. His entire life he has been a pianist having started at the age of five. I would love to something using his own handwritten music sheets- perhaps pillows, art of some sort, or maybe even on his piano bench! He’d love it!

The possibilities are endless – but I’d love to transfer scripture to the tops of several tables I’m needing to paint. Would be such a statement piece in any room. Thanks for the video tutorial. Love the chance for some freebies! Thank you!!

I purchased a butlers table today at a barn sale! I want to transfer a french image onto it & this method sounds perfect 🙂 Wish me luck bc this will be my first transfer!! Yay!! Btw your pillow looks AMAZING!!

I’m a pillow girl too! I love using the slip covers so storage in the off season is simplified.
I make pillows with heat transfer vinyl but would love to try this method for some detailed covers! P.S. I Love the Graphics Fairy!

I have been wanting to make pillows and maybe a small canvas for my wall decorated with flowers made from photocopies of my bedspread material. Been trying to figure out how to do this and the GEL1 looks like it would work perfectly!

How awesome is this! I would use it on my son’s dresser on the drawer fronts. I have some cool graphics that I have been wanting to use and this product seems to be perfect for it! Thanks for always sharing great products and the uses for them! 🙂

LOTS of changes in my family in the last few years and I haven’t been able to “craft”. Now that my granddaughter has turned one….you think it’s time to put her infectious smile out on display? (Bad gamma) I would like to do a ” tapestry ” of her first year and my new apartment has alot of wall space to accomplish this. Or maybe a toy box wit her face, date of birth etc. Or a giant canvas of my favorite picture. A t-shirt? Blanket for great-grandma? Somebody stop me!!!!! SO excited!!!!

Wow, so many possibilities and where to start. I have several projects in the works for my grandkids, but I need to do something for my house, too. I’ve been wanting to do something fun with my set of 4 light wooden colored TV trays so I think that’s what I would attempt first. My birthday is in a few days, so I’m feeling lucky!! lol Thanks for the video & the chance to win.

I have several trays I have painted just solid colors. I’m going to do one with a Halloween design on it. The other one I will decorate with a Christmasy picture. I have never done any kind of transferring before but have always thought it looked like fun.

Aloha Friend:
I now know what to do to keep my Grand “Littles” from fighting over “Whose Pillow Is Whose!” I will do pillow cases for them both with their names on them! Another “Catastrophy Averted!” The wheel are turning look out! Thanks so much for this..”Hate to just Read & Run but I must go & look through my stash of goodies now!

OUI! My Grandmother’s piano stool needs a new French shabby chic cover! THIS IS PERFECT! ❤️ Grandma was a women’s seamstress: spent hours sewing on the that stool. (Now it’s my vanity stool! ) This will be so much FUN! Thanks for the great article & instructions.

Well, now that I’ve seen your amazing undertaker pillow, I would probably make one of those, but the possibilities really are endless. I have an old jewelry box that needs a marvelous make-over. And that undertaker graphic would fit the bill quite nicely.
Thank you for the chance to win such a generous prize pack.

Wow… I have so many things I would like to do with 1Gel! I will start with something simple like the antique tray I picked up at a little shop last week, then move on to a few pillows AND my mother has a garage full of antique furniture in serious need of beautification. The possibilities are endless!

I am crazy for pillows…I have them everywhere, even in the RV! I am also a major scrapbooker just getting into mixed media so I will either use it on a junk journal or the vintage phone table I want to refinish. So many projects so little time!

Oh my the ideas running through my mind right now are endless, well there are pillows, placemats, all those “blanks” at the craft stores, totes, clutches, etc.. I have lots of odd size frames I would even do a fabric piece and frame it. Then there is upcycling! wonder if this would work of faux leather? think of all the discarded bags and purses at your local thrift stores…. then there is the hard surface items… trays, shelves, how about a book just paint the cover then apply the image… OMG my mind is racing! keeping my fingers crossed!

My mind is in overdrive thinking of what I’m going to do first! If it stands still I’m going to slap some images on it and transfer! I’d better wake the dogs! I know one thing for sure, I’m going find some AWESOME Mermaid prints for my MERMAID WALL!
